Standing for freedom,
They answered the call.
Saying farewells,
They gave their all.

To those returning,
We thank today.
To those who fell,
We want to say...

"Your call to duty,
Was not in vain.
Someone, somewhere,
Knows your name.

"The world is safer,
Because of you.
Your time has come,
You paid your due.

"So march on soldier,
Whom again we'll see.
We'll salute you always,
Through eternity."
